Ghost town?

So, I've been away a while, but I popped in last night to start up a couple of pistol characters.

In the hour or two I was on, I saw 1 other person in the red side newb area maybe 2 blue side. Are there really that few people playing new characters these days?

Also, Pinnbadges was totally silent at the times I monitored it. Did it move elsewhere or die?

[edit: Woah, just noticed my join date was Mar 2004. Wow.]

I 17 closed beta started the same day as Pistols became available, not to mention it is the middle of the week.

Additionally a lot of people take new characters straight to RWZ and group up in the AE since the level barrier was removed.

PinnBadges is still in use. You just hit upon a quiet night I think. Night before was buzzing.

Personally I've been away the past few days because my computer's PSU died and NewEgg is being a jerk in sending me my new one (although it could be here now...I should check). But as of a few days ago I felt like I was actually seeing more people around the city instead of fewer, and PinnBadges is keeping a decent population (although it has had some quiet nights, like Lemur said).

Population varies at any given time.. I was actually on server we shall not name and I saw 2 people at the black market and ran to the U and AE and saw a total of 3 people.

Then I noticed in pinnbadges a katie so yep was on my home for while

Seems no matter what server I'm on or what time it is, there's always only 2-3 people in Mercy Isle.

I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CONFUSE "WEST" AND "EAST" IN AN ADDRESS. ONE IS WEST AND ONE IS EAST. THEY ARE OPPOSITES. THAT IS THE POINT!!

*slow, deep breaths*

So, how's everyone enjoying 2XP?

They always do double xp at the worst times for me. Son's birthday and friend's baby shower this weekend.

I didn't realize it had started already though, weee I can get in a little tonight.

Guess this means I didn't get into closed beta :P.

So you guys are still finding groups and seeing activity during normal hours then? It seems kind of like an mmo cliche but, every time I check back in I see less and less folks.

[edit:

Didn't realize they took the restrictions off RWZ. I am bummed to hear that people are still just camping in the architect . Still, if that's where the party is, I suppose I should haul myself over.]

I didn't realize that either. I have a map I farm solo on one of my 50s because it's the most productive thing I can do when none of my friends are online, but I didn't know that SG PL-fests still happened.

AE XP, while less, is still more effecient. Sadly, it's also easy access.

Also didn't know D-XP was starting today. I'll be running my DP/Traps through papers/regular content and might even ask if folks want to join me.

Probably be more fun that AE farming.


Be well, people of CoH.

No joke. You'll probably be way past me by the time I get on though, but I'll see what's up in chan when I get in. I think my dp/dark & dp/energy are both 5.

Just in case, since there's free re-activation this weekend as well, I'll have my other account going... so if no one is on I should probably be dual boxing AE content for efficiency I guess. What's the XP mission du juor these days (for lowbies)?

Hey guys, can I have your 2XP crumbs/dust? It turns out UPS doesn't know what the hell they're doing.

Nah, Pinn will never die and I'll never leave despite some attempts.

Well, if you logged on, and looked for people standing around outside chatting or not doing much of anything, I certainly wasn't there.

I have popped on for 4 or so sessions in the last 24 hours.
Each time I just got right on to 8 man teams, mishing away,
(normal contact or radio mishes.)

If you saw me, I would either be levelling at trainer, or travelling between mishes.

One of my new DP alts is 28.
and having a blast.

You'd think, but somehow after hearing two kids I'd take some (relatively) adult conversation over silence. I could do with the silence at night though...while I'm trying to sleep.
